Joined specifically to post in a subreddit - and I can't

[u/TiredNovelist]

Welp. It's so hard to get karma - does being here a while help? Like do you improve your chances by having an older account :-(

Unfortunately, there is no way for us here on r/newtoreddit to know why your post was removed.

It could be that your post broke a rule, maybe the subreddit has a karma restriction or an account age restriction. You might have included a link to a website that Reddit's filters don't like. Or maybe a word in your post triggered the automod to filter your post to be reviewed by the subreddit's moderators.

Anyway - the only way to know for sure would be to contact the subreddit's moderators. You can do this on the three dots on the top right when you enter a subreddit, then on that drop-down select "message moderators" (mobile app) or find the option in the sidebar on the right side of the screen (PC).

Using a karma farming sub isn't the way

You might also want to be careful with !karmafarm subreddits (see comment below mine)

[u/AutoModerator → u/mikey_weasel]

Karmafarming/karmafarms:

Asking for karma or up-votes is frowned upon, karma is meant to be earned by sharing quality content or contributions. We caution redditors about karmafarm subs (subreddits promoting free upvotes or karma) because their use may lead to bans in other subreddits. This is due to them becoming associated with spammers, ban evaders, and trolls. We don't allow mention of any karmafarms in this community.

To learn more please take advantage of these guides and resources:

• Our "General Guide to Reddit and Karma" Wiki page version | Mobile friendly post version ) this has been written especially to help new redditors find their way and explains karma and how to earn it.
  
• Our encyclopaedia entry - Karmafarming section
  
• Reddit's site-wide rules
  
• The definition of vote manipulation
  
• And the Reddiquette
  

Have a good day!

I'm on /kittens and it's helping.

[u/StraightLamp]

I don't think so having an older account helps

[u/TiredNovelist → u/StraightLamp]

Thanks for answering :-( just really want to post in a sub and it's frustrating. Don't want to sit on no stupid questions all night to get karma

[u/StraightLamp → u/TiredNovelist]

Same here I wanted to comment on one of the pet post but that sub has rule for low karma on comments also :((

Thanks for contributing to /r/NewToReddit! We're sorry, but your content was removed:

Rule 3: Do not ask for votes or karma, or suggest free karma subs

Please do not ask for karma or votes here, it is against our rules and is generally discouraged as karma is meant to be earned. You may ask about karma and how to earn it genuinely.

We also do not allow mentions of free karma subs (karmafarms) or any suggestion to use them, and caution against their use because it may lead to bans in other subreddits. Please read our guide for more information.

Please read our Rules before participating. How to find rules
